Mexican Vibes!

How is your summer going so far? Have you been traveling a bit? Or perhaps since the summer’s far from being over do you have some traveling plans set up? And if you do, then… where? South, where it’s nice and hot (perhaps too hot?), or up North where it’s nice and cool? 🙂

Or maybe you’re just enjoying the summer over where you are because no matter what it’s sunny outside and it just feels like… chillin’ out? 🙂 Anyway, I’d always love to hear all about it in the comments below, but as for me… I am actually far-up North right now! Can you guess where? Oh, well! You can’t guess from looking at these photos, I’m sure since I took them a few weeks before leaving for… Russia! Yes, and just in case you don’t know, I was born in Russia and we go there from time to time, usually during the summer when it’s nice and warm there (well, it’s kind of like the winter in LA, but it is warm for Russia!)

So now that you know all about my current adventures, let me tell you that when I took these photos just a few days back in LA it was VERY-VERY-VERY HOT! This is why when I saw this Off-The-Shoulder Top (my favorite neckline so far!) top with the colorful tassel trimming, I felt like this South-of-the Border inspired top was a must-have for the hot LA’s summer! And you know what? When I put it on I totally felt like being somewhere in Mexico! Not only because it was so very hot out. It’s also because there’re so many “Mexican” places in LA that me wearing this top and (of course!) visiting some of them, fit right in! Well, hey, LA used to be on the Mexican territory at one point in our history! 🙂

I paired this colorful top with a pair of skinny jeans, a pair of simple black sandals and these tassel earrings. Well… I guess I could’ve worn something much more colorful. But I decided to stick to something more basic to make this outfit work for both a casual outing and a business meeting as well.I took a few photos against this bright yellow wall that always reminds me of the colorful buildings that I saw in Mazatlan where I traveled last winter. 🙂

But to make me feel like I was really visiting Mexico I decided to make a stop in this authentic Mexican Taqueria! (oh, yeah, it and it was because it’s my kids’ favoirte place to eat since they LOVE their burritoes!) I just love how they painted the walls with all these cactuses to make you feel like you ARE in Mexico! 🙂

…So what do you think of all this? Do you choose to go South or you’d rather go North this summer? I’d love to hear all about it in the comments below! 🙂
